Police Clamp Down on Criminality: Four Suspects Arrested for Forgery and Public Disturbance in Ogun State

The Ogun State Police Command has announced a significant breakthrough in its fight against crime, confirming the arrest of four suspects implicated in serious offences including forgery and breach of peace. The arrests were made following coordinated intelligence gathering and swift action by the Command’s operatives.

This development underscores the renewed commitment of the Ogun State Police to maintaining law and order, targeting both economic crimes like fraud and offences that directly threaten communal harmony.
​
While the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) has not yet released the identities of the four individuals, it is confirmed that they were apprehended across different locations within Ogun State.

The suspects face charges related to forgery, which typically involves the fraudulent alteration or imitation of documents (such as financial instruments, land titles, or certificates), and breach of peace an offence covering conduct that disturbs public tranquility and order.

The arrests were reportedly the result of an intelligence-led operation aimed at disrupting criminal networks operating within the state. The Police have assured the public that a thorough criminal investigation is underway.

Though unconfirmed, it is highly likely that incriminating evidence or forged materials were recovered from the suspects upon their apprehension.
​
The inclusion of forgery in the charges highlights the Police’s focus on tackling economic crime in Nigeria. Forgery often serves as a foundational crime for larger financial schemes, including land fraud, identity theft, and money laundering.

By apprehending these suspects, the Ogun State Police aims to send a strong message: criminal activities, particularly those involving deception and the disruption of public order, will not be tolerated. The suspects are expected to be arraigned in court once the investigations are concluded, ensuring due process is followed for criminal prosecution.

This decisive action contributes to general public safety and helps restore confidence in the state’s efforts to combat insecurity and criminality.
